tied by Denial of Both Petitions.
Special &c the Indianapolis journal.
MARSHALL Dec. 29-The Prewett divorce
case, which has acquired quite local celebrity.
is at last settled, for the present. at
least This a complicated one. First,
Mrs Prewett sued for a divorce from her hus-
band, alleging failure to provide. He met her
by filing cross-bill, alleging adultery and other
unwifely conduct. The real fight was over the
issue OF the unhappy marriage. little Mia.
beautiful and wonderfully-intelgent child Of
about three years. The little girl was present
at the trial, and attracted great deal of atten-
ton by her beauty and sweetness The case
was twice called, and then continued. 1t was
finally tried at the November term of the Cir
cult Court. the trial lasting four days, and the
evidence, much of which was of highly sensation
al character filling about $50 pages of typewriter
size. Judge Wilkin reserved his decision until
he could read the evidence. His decision was
not made until Tuesday, and was communicated
to the interested party here, Darwin Prewett,
last evening. The Judge denied both petitions.
on the ground that both had been guilty of
marital conduct No disposition made of
the child by the court, it will continue with
the mother. There were over one hundred wit
nesses examind during the trial, and the
attracted widespread notice.
